SABRINA JEFFRIES had eaten chicken heads and jellyfish by the time she was eighteen, had been pursued by a newborn elephant, seen many cobras and pythons, had all of her rabies injections, and toured rain forests and rubber plantations. Yet that wasn't enough for her; she devoured romance novels to escape her boring life as a missionary's daughter. Her bestselling, award-winning tales of strong women and sensual, dangerous men have been translated all over the world, and she now writes romance books. Despite the fact that she currently resides in North Carolina with her husband and children, her colorful background has provided her with plenty of material for future works.
